Collison and Cowen are asking the right questions but are unserious about finding answers. We need better data, a journal, forecasting competitions, etc. Podcasts and twitter cliques aren't going to cut it. Orthodox economics isn't going to cut it. A Humanities-based approach isn't going to cut it. Even more seriously, they've almost framed the inquiry as unanswerable from the start. What kind of answer or new discovery might they accept as an advance? What are the criteria for success?
